We suggest that you not rely on any single source of information, however. If the weather conditions are questionable, or if for some reason the FlashAlert service is not working, you can try checking the district's Twitter or Facebook feeds, the district's website, or local radio or TV stations: KEZI-TV 9, KVAL-TV 13 or KMTR-TV 16.

About Springfield Public Schools Weather Policies

When do we know: If snow or ice is predicted, designated staff take to the road between 4:00 and 6:00 a.m. to assess travel conditions on the bus routes. They also take radar maps and forecasts into account. The goal is to determine by 6:30 a.m. whether schools will be closed, on delay, or operating as usual.

If you don’t hear any information about Springfield Public Schools, you can assume that the schools are operating on their normal schedules. However, the decision of whether to send your child to school always rests in your hands. If you do not feel that it is safe to transport your child to school, contact the school to let them know.

After-school activities: If schools are closed on account of weather, all after-school activities are cancelled, including athletic games, practices, and building rentals.

Delayed start: If the weather causes a delayed start, morning kindergarten is canceled.
